The old and new factions have been at odds for a long time.

The old school adhered to the principle of "agriculture and commerce", believing that if the peasants left their land to do business, there would inevitably be a large-scale population migration, and the population of the port would inevitably be more than that of the inland, which was not only difficult to manage, but also easy to cause population imbalance, and even a large area of land abandonment.

What's more, the Celestial Empire has always come to cultivate and read heirlooms, and new ideas are pouring in too quickly, people's hearts are unstable, and they are prone to trouble.

The new school advocates that "industry and commerce are all fundamental, and the new state of sea trade", to seek development, it must change with each passing day, and the development of sea trade will not be achieved overnight, but the premise of gradual progress is to set a precedent. In ancient times, how could there be no unhindered change. There are many obstacles, and it is not a reason to change the law. If you can work for a thousand years, why not be afraid of the obstacles in front of you and the injuries of the individual. This method does not work, only by doing it can we know, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and if there is any trouble, we will solve it, why bother to regard it as a flood beast.

At this time, Chen Xuan took out a silver dollar and gave Yu Jingning and Yu Zhiwei a look: "Do you recognize this?" ”

Naturally recognized. Yu Zhiwei said in his heart. This silver dollar is a foreign product.

Daheng official silver, mostly in the shape of silver ingots, this kind of silver dollar, called "franc machine silver".

Chen Xuan continued: "Daheng's current silver, most of which is Franc machine silver, at this time, the original Shan Hongguang Shan was still talking to me when he was still there, but now the household department has replaced Tian Xin, so this matter has been covered up." ”

Yu Zhiwei and Yu Jingning were a little surprised when they heard this, especially Yu Jingning, who couldn't help but ask: "But what I see in Beijing now is mostly official silver." ”

"That's true." Chen Xuan nodded, "The silver in the Jingshi is indeed the official silver of Daheng. But as we all know, there are only so many silver mines in Daheng, all of which are hidden in their own private warehouses by everyone in the mainland, and how many can be circulated in the market. 'Rice is cheap and hoards silver', if it is Guangtun silver, not circulating in the market, how can it be prosperous. ”

Yu Jingning had never heard such remarks, frowning and thinking about it, but Yu Zhiwei heard a little bit of the truth.

Is this called "deflation"?

Yu Zhiwei's level of economics in his previous life stayed at an extremely superficial stage, and he could only distinguish several concepts simply. She vigorously recalled: "If silver were not in circulation, the prices of grain, cloth, and all kinds of things would be cheap and cheap, and in the long run, people would not want to buy things, merchants would not want to do business, and craftsmen would not want to produce, and the number of displaced people who had nothing to do would increase." Daheng will even go back a few dynasties ago. ”

Chen Xuan glanced at her approvingly: "This is very true." ”

"But there is no silver in the market, so it is not enough to issue silver tickets." Yu Zhiwei asked, "It's not that Jingshi can't use silver tickets. ”

"If all the silver is hoarded in the hands of the old man who wants to buy land, and there is no silver in the treasury, so you dare to use the silver ticket that may not be redeemed for silver?" Chen Xuan pushed the gold wire glass mirror and asked rhetorically, "Besides, this is in Jingshi, Daheng has so many realms, how do you know that all the people will recognize the silver ticket?" ”

Yu Zhiwei was silent, indeed, most of the people still recognize silver more.

"Back to Fang Cai, why is it that most of the treasury is now full of franc silver." Chen Xuan knocked on the table, "Silver can be recast, and most of the silver ingots seen in the Beijing Division are recast from the Franc machine silver dollar." Moreover, merchants in the Thirteen Ports can even trade directly with Franc machine silver dollars. ”

Yu Jingning finally came back to his senses from his long-term thinking and said: "And the matter of hoarding silver and selling land has always been difficult to return, and if you want to move their interests and affect the whole body, it is very likely to lead to social instability, so you can only rely on sea trade to obtain the silver you need?" ”

Chen Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, so the sea trade must be prosperous." ”

Chen Hui waited for his younger brother to finish these words before he spoke: "So, Brother Yu Xian, do you understand what a few of us are doing here?" ”

Yu Zhiwei secretly said that he understood, this was to pull them in.

The Yu family is a family of lords, obviously the old school, but in fact, they are not directly involved in the political struggle between the old and new factions, so it is okay to be considered "neutral". And even if Yu Jingning's identity is not embarrassing now, the bargaining chips of the lord's family are still very eye-catching, making them the target of wooing.

Yu Zhiwei doesn't care, she belongs to the "hindsight" of the bystander Qing, of course she can figure out the "reform and opening up is good", but Yu Jingning is a party to Daheng, and he has received the traditional education of "farming and reading heirlooms" since he was a child, so it is a question whether he can figure it out.

Yu Zhiwei narrowed his eyes, but ...... The influx of foreign silver, why does it sound so familiar? In the long run, will something really happen?

Yu Jingning and Yu Zhiwei had their own thoughts, and sent away the three brothers and sisters of the Chen family with complicated feelings.

Yu Zhiwei wrinkled his nose: "The second brother of the Chen family should enter the household department, why did he go to Honglu Temple?" "If he enters the household department, won't he have a bargaining chip to play with the eunuchs?

"Everyone has his own ambitions." Yu Jingning said lightly, "Besides, most of the people in the new school may be able to say a thing or two, but it is rare for people to speak four or five foreign languages." ”

"Uh......" Yu Zhiwei was speechless for a while. Well, that makes a lot of sense. Stuffing Chen Xuan into the household department is probably like enclosing Yu Jingning, the son of Jiangmen, in the capital is an effect.

Yu Zhiwei tilted his head, just enough to see Yu Jingning's tall nose bridge, which left a small shadow on the side of his face. She suddenly thought that if Yu Jingning did not enter Beijing as a hostage, but followed his father in the Northwest Domain, guarding the border at the border, would he be completely different from now?

How can a teenager who grew up in a big place develop a depressed and frustrated appearance. Yu Jingning simply broke all the edges of his body and grinded them into the way he is now, so that he could stay in the turtle shell of Jingshi.

Can...... Is it really so easy for a young man to hide?

At the beginning, he really listened to Tan Huaiju's words and listened to the advice of countless people, to be patient, to think twice, to think about it in advance, and not to act rashly. But after experiencing this "Gan Cao case" that dragged on for two or three months, the edge on his body could no longer be hidden.

If he can really hide his edge completely, then he should protect himself in this "Gan Cao Case" that seems to have nothing to do with him, instead of running for the half of Jinyiwei's wronged people, not for the command of Zheng Jia, and not for Tan Huaiyu.

He will not conspire with himself to take such a risky approach, involve himself in it, and even do not hesitate to completely and secretly dissatisfied, and completely tear his face with the eunuch who is false and wronged on the surface.

An awl placed in a pocket will eventually come out of the bag.

Yu Zhiwei thought.
